In Memory of Cody

It is so hard to understand why tragedies happen, especially to someone that has their whole life ahead of them. I recently joined an online virtual community on Facebook called Yoville. My husband and I, along with a few other leaders at our church saw an opportunity to reach out to a whole other group people for ministry purposes. We ran into many other christians in this community, seriously hardcore, sold out christians. Most of which were teenagers. Nick and I started talking with 2 teenagers in particular, a boy and a girl from Georgia. They are both highschool age kids that love the Lord. Kymi (aka Ariana) and Cody are great friends and fellow warriors for christ. After the first couple days Ariana and Cody began attending our church via ExposedPastor.com. We continued developing relationships with them and their friends, then last thursday tragedy struck. Cody was in a car that was hit by a drunk driver. The car that Cody was in flipped three times and left Cody in a coma. We had many prayer meetings on Yoville and really drew together as a family in Christ. Unfortunately, yesterday afternoon Cody passed away. It was devastating for everyone that knew him, no matter how briefly. I just ask that anyone who reads this please say a prayer for Codys friends and family that will miss him so much. As hard as it is, as followers of Christ we know that God will use this for good. And praise the lord that Cody was a devoted christian, because we know that he is in heaven dancing with Jesus!
